Conclusions to Successes and Failures of Reconstruction

I disagree with "freedmen's bureau and other organizations help many black families obtain housing, jobs, and schooling". My reasons are because although they helped them, they weren't treated equally as the white families. Many other black families were unemployed and "remained caught in a cycle of poverty." Failures after the civil war were that there were the black codes, Jim Crow Laws, and many black families remained in sharecropping. The successes were were that all black people were free and people could choose who to be slave to if they were unemployed.
